Screening, characterization and biofilm formation of nickel resistant bacteria isolated from indigenous environment

100%

nr 4

Nickel resistant bacteria (ZB, ZC, ZD, ZL, ZK and SIX) were isolated from industrial effluents and corroded iron pieces from indigenous environment of Punjab, Pakistan. These six strains could tolerate nickel at different levels with ZB, ZC, ZD, ZL, ZK, and SIX having 233, 225, 267,233,228 and 296 mM minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of nickel ions, respectively. These bacteria were sensitive to Cu⁺², Cr⁺³, CO⁺², and Al⁺³ as they did not grow even in the presence of 1 mM concentration of all these ions in minimal medium, whereas all of them were resistant to Fe⁺³ up to 1.3 mM in minimal medium. The best appropriate temperature for nickel resistant bacteria was 37°C and all of them showed maximum growth at pH 8. These bacteria were characterized morphologically and biochemically. Biofilm forming ability of the bacteria was checked with and without nickel stress and it was found that strains ZK and SIX were able to form a compact biofilm even under nickel stress. The sequencing of 16S rRNA-encoding genes from these nickel resistant bacteria showed that they belonged to four different genera namely, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Cronobacter.
